Chapter 49 My wife refuses to live with me
Qiu Huilan was sitting opposite the two of them, so she naturally saw such an obvious action.
The old face wrinkled immediately, and his eyes turned into scrutiny as he looked at his second grandson.
"What do you mean? You still want to play tricks right under my nose?!" Qiu Huilan raised the last line of her voice. Sister Wu next to her was worried that the old lady would get angry, and at the same time, Jiang Qin couldn't help worrying.
When Horsley held her hand, she looked at him. His eyes were dark and deep, and she couldn't see through them. She didn't know what he was going to say, let alone whether his words would irritate the old lady like they did to her in the morning.
Suddenly, Huo Sili spoke in a calm but obviously serious tone.
"Grandma, this is my fault."
Qiu Huilan frowned, obviously not so easy to fool, "It's your fault, of course I know it's your fault! What are the details? What did you do? Tell me, don't just talk nonsense!"
Hearing the old lady's words, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel nervous. Of course, she was not nervous about anything else, but she was afraid that Horsley might not be sober and repeat his words and upset the old lady.
But reminding Horsley at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire.
The Huo family is now recognized as a top wealthy family, and Qiu Huilan has been the mistress of the Huo family for decades. How can she be an unintelligent person?
A person’s words and actions, a micro-expression, or even a punctuation mark when sending a message in an online chat.
For smart people, there is too much information to be obtained from it.
Jiang Qin carefully shook Huo Sili's hand that was covering hers, with her mouth tightly closed.
Perhaps sensing her movements, Horsley lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at her, but soon he turned to look at the old lady.
"I said nonsense that day and made Qinqin sad, so she cut her wrists."
Hearing this, Qiu Huilan looked at Huo Sili and her brows furrowed even more.
She is already in her seventies. Having been through life, she naturally knows the power of words to hurt people, especially young people. Among them, young people are the most likely to be unable to let go of matters of love.
But just as she had thought before, when her best friend, Qinqin's grandmother, passed away four years ago, Qinqin never thought of committing suicide. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that although this child is sensitive, she is actually strong and not fragile.
Not the kind of person who would take life lightly.
Thinking of this, Qiu Huilan couldn't help but get angry.
What kind of nonsense could make her granddaughter-in-law so upset?
Qiu Huilan couldn't have imagined that his face was visibly getting sour.
But at this age, in Qiu Huilan's view, no matter how big the problems of young people are, they are just a few things -
Misunderstandings arise by accident, trust loopholes are not repaired in time, people speak harshly, and they fail to distinguish the primary from the secondary when encountering things!
At this point, Qiu Huilan naturally realized that there was a problem with her grandson!
If you want to solve the problem, you still have to have a good talk with your grandson and find out what he is thinking.
As for the granddaughter-in-law...
Qiu Huilan's expression changed as if she was turning over a book. She looked at Jiang Qin kindly, "Qinqin, grandma knows about your resignation. Wait until tomorrow when you go to work and let this brat approve it for you. It's getting late now. You should go back to Meiyuan to rest first. Go ahead."
The other three people present who witnessed the old lady's change of expression: "..."
At the same time, Jiang Qin wanted to say something.
But soon Qiu Huilan looked at Huo Sili, and her expression suddenly turned cold, like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.
"You stay here!" he said fiercely.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin naturally realized that the old lady took her wrist-cutting very seriously.
This was obviously an attempt to seek justice for her and punish her grandson.
It is indeed getting late now, and I remembered the rule I made before - not staying up late at night.
After going back to clean up and take a shower, it was almost time for her to go to bed after adjusting her schedule, so Jiang Qin did not refuse and responded obediently, "Okay, grandma, then I'll go back to Meiyuan first. After you finish talking to Si Li, you should also go to bed early. Good night."
"Hey, good night," Qiu Huilan changed her expression again, smiling like a flower, and said lovingly, "Good boy, go ahead."
Jiang Qin smiled and nodded, then stood up and was about to go out. Behind her, Qiu Huilan told Zhou Fu, "See the Second Young Master's wife off."
Zhou Fu hurriedly said "oh" and followed Jiang Qin. After a while, Jiang Qin was invited to get in the car by Zhou Fu.
The street lights in the manor were bright, and the car drove towards Meiyuan at a steady speed.
On the way, Jiang Qin thought about Huo Sili's performance just now, and was not so worried about what might happen in the main building next.
Yes, it was undoubtedly obvious how filial Horsley was to the old lady - after all, if not for this, he would never have agreed to the old lady's secret marriage with her, who was a complete stranger to him.
The most important thing in the early stages of pregnancy is to take good care of your body. Thinking too much will cause you stress and is bad for your body.
When the car arrived at Meiyuan, Jiang Qin didn't think any more about it. She went upstairs to pack up and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Maybe it was because the old house had good feng shui, or maybe her sleepiness reaction in early pregnancy was more intense.
She slept soundly, and when she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning. She opened the curtains and heard the melodious and crisp singing of birds outside the window. The sunny weather made her feel good.
But when I was washing up in the bathroom, I heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door, just like a dark rain cloud suddenly flew over my head.
The mood suddenly becomes not beautiful.
"Good morning, Madam Second Young Master!" When I pushed the door open, I saw Huo Sili already sitting in the dining chair in the restaurant.
Zhou Fu was standing nearby. Two elderly maids had just set up breakfast. When they saw her coming, they greeted her in unison.
Jiang Qin smiled and nodded in response. Within two minutes, the three of them left, and she and Huo Sili were the only ones left in the room.
Thinking about how he had asked the old lady to resign last night, objectively speaking, he had indeed helped her.
So when Jiang Qin sat down on the dining chair, she greeted politely, "Good morning." Then she sat down to have breakfast.
However, after taking a few sips of porridge, Jiang Qin realized belatedly that Huo Sili's clothes were not right.
"Why are you wearing this? Aren't you going to the office this morning?"
Perhaps it was because of an occupational disease that Jiang Qin suddenly blurted out this sentence, thinking about the morning meeting that Huo Sili held with the group's senior executives every Monday. Huo Sili had never been absent unless there was an emergency.
Of course, the next millisecond after she said it, she deeply regretted it and was very embarrassed -
Although, according to Huo's request, she can only officially leave her post after thirty days.
But she was the one who took the initiative to resign. Why is she asking this now?
Jiang Qin buried her head in drinking her porridge, trying to pretend that she was sleepwalking.
However, she wanted to act as if nothing had happened, but Horsley didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately responded to her, "Yeah."
Um?
Jiang Qin continued to drink her porridge, pretending not to hear, but Huo Sili suddenly spoke.
"We'll go back to Yunhai Mansion together later."
Jiang Qin sat up straight and looked at him, frowning slightly, with a strong rejection in her heart.
Obviously, Jiang Qin hadn't reacted yet.
Seeing her expression, Horsley's eyes darkened noticeably.
"Have you forgotten what you said last night?"
Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat. "What did I say last night?"
She really didn't remember, no, did he come back last night? She had no impression at all.
Huo Sili frowned slightly, like a mute who had taken bitter medicine.
He opened his mouth, then closed it, and opened it again after a long while, which made Jiang Qin more and more confused.
Finally, Horsley met her eyes and helped her recall word by word.
"You said you just quit because you didn't like your job, and it had nothing to do with our relationship."
Jiang Qin pursed her pink lips, her face a little stiff. What she lamented at that moment was not anything else, but that after becoming pregnant, she would really ignore many other things in life because of the baby in her belly. For example, she didn't think about this matter at all.
Huo Sili continued; "So, Qinqin, do you think we should resume living together?"
This is not a question, but a rhetorical question.
Jiang Qin had reacted by now and naturally understood what was said, but she really didn't want to.
She finally found a place where she could rest and take care of her pregnancy. If she went back to Yunhai Huafu, wouldn't she be scared again?
That would be very bad for her health.
Jiang Qin lowered her head and continued to drink her porridge. "Let's talk about it later."
The eyes of Huo Sili on the opposite side suddenly darkened a little, "What else?"
Jiang Qin wanted to say "yeah", but she saw the light and shadow moving in her peripheral vision, and her body felt lighter the next second. How could she dare to say "yeah"?
"What are you doing? Horsley, let me go!"
